Osama Bin Laden

The evil mastermind behind 911 and the killings of   nearly 3,000 people has been shot twice in the head. He escaped to Pakistan but his men still stayed in Afghanistan receiving orders from him to kill millions of people. Bin Laden was top of Americas most wanted list. Bin in Laden was the subject of a decade-long manhunt through Afghanistan and areas of Pakistan.

last August, U.S. intelligence officials got information suggesting bin Laden was living in a less mysterious area, namely a compound in Abottabad.Bin Laden followed a very strict fundamentalist strain of Sunni Islam that believes a core responsibility of every Muslim is to take up arms against enemies of Islam.FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said, "While there are no specific, bin Laden-related threats at this time, every logical and prudent step is being taken to mitigate any developing threats." According to officials who declined to be identified by name, bin Laden was shot in the head during a firefight, and his body was identified to near 100 percent certainty through DNA testing. As quickly as bin Laden's supporters vowed to avenge his death, administration officials worked to undermine his reputation.

Bin Laden's death came 15 years after he declared war on the United States. Al-Qaida was also blamed for the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa that killed 224 people and the 2000 attack on the USS Cole that killed 17 American sailors in Yemen, as well as countless other plots, some successful and some foiled.
It took four long years to learn the man's real name, then years more before investigators got a big break in the case, these officials said.There were questions, as well, about Pakistan's role in bin Laden's years in hiding
